Happy Saturday, Clymbers. Hopefully you’re reading this on a smartphone while riding the lift up to make some late-season turns. Speaking of, how are your goggles faring? Have they become a veritable fog machine? Have they sporting more cracks than your Subaru’s windshield? In any case, don’t worry. We’ve got a big event featuring the top goggle brands today. Pick up your dream pair on the cheap. We’ve also got Salomon footwear and apparel, FuelBelt running accessories, and Gravis footwear and apparel on the docket. A little something for everyone.
Enjoy the weekend. We’ll catch up with you again on Monday. In the meantime, here’s some more information about today’s events:
Salomon: Salomon was founded in 1947 in the heart of the French Alps, the birthplace of modern alpinism. Driven by passion for skiing and design innovation, Francois Salomon and his son George designed and perfected many of the first modern ski bindings. The company has since earned a reputation for excellence in designing goods for other outdoor activities, expanding its line to include everything from trail running footwear to technical apparel and socks. Today at The Clymb, we’re excited to be offering Salomon footwear and technical apparel for member-exclusive pricing.
FuelBelt: When driving into the backcountry, it’s a good idea to bring some extra fuel. The same holds true with distance running. FuelBelt designs lightweight pocketed waist straps for distance runners wanting an accessible place to store water bottles, energy gels and whatever else powers them to push past their limits. Top off with Men’s and Women’s FuelBelt running accessories, on sale today at The Clymb for member-exclusive pricing.
Gravis: Remove it from the box, slip it on and head to the beach or to the cantina because casual is comfortable with Gravis footwear and apparel. Need to get some work done while you relax? The lightweight Gravis Hood backpack sports a laptop sleeve and enough room for a six-pack and whatever else you need to get the job done. Act now and receive member-exclusive pricing on Gravis footwear, tees, and Hood backpacks.
Goggles: There’s a saying as old as skiing itself, the message of which rings as true today as it did thousands of years ago when goggles were no more than a pair of polished bones strung to the head by sinew: “Those who refuse to wear eye protection on the mountain won’t have a sweet pair of raccoon eyes to show off the next day at work.” Snow goggle technology may have matured faster than the people who use it but that doesn’t mean you should still be holding on to your Stone Age gear. Evolve with goggles from Spy, Optic Nerve, Electric, and more, on sale today at The Clymb for member-exclusive pricing.
PLUS… There’s still time to save on Uclear, KAVU, COAL, Cross, Timex, Looptworks, Teva, & Nils.
And just for fun…
Bone in the Snow: Did you know? Snow goggles weren’t always rainbow-tinted works of modern art. Invented by the Inuit people of the Arctic as a way to prevent snow blindness, traditional snow goggles were originally made from chunks of bone or ivory. The wearer would shave the bone to fit, cut some slits to let in light, rub the insides down with soot, and then strap the contraption to his or her head using sinew. Awesomely, DC Comics supervillain Captain Cold wears traditional-style snow goggles to prevent going blind from the glare created by the ice beams he blasts from his cold guns (which are generally aimed at Flash). In comic books at least, old technologies are always cutting edge. KRACKOW!
